A Place of Her Own

Bridget “Biddy” Mason
b. 8-15-1818; Hancock County, GA
d. 1-15-1891; Los Angeles, CA

“Biddy” Mason, born into slavery, was a skilled nurse and midwife. She is best remembered for walking the two thousand miles she traveled with her owners, eventually getting to the free state of California. She won her freedom in a Los Angeles courtroom in 1856 - even though the law did not allow people of color to speak in open court. As a free woman she became fluent in Spanish, saved her money, and helped anyone who was in need. She also bought property and became a wealthy woman. In 1872 she founded the First African Methodist Episcopal Church of Los Angeles. And because the public school was not open to blacks, she provided the money to start the city's first school for African-Americans. (based on book description)

Maria Mitchell
b. 8-1-1818; Nantucket, MA
d. 6-28-1889; Lynn, MA

Maria Mitchell, who became the first woman member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1848 and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1850, first gained international attention for discovering a comet (Comet 1847 VI or C/1847 T1) in the fall of 1847 and winning a prize offered by King Frederich VI of Denmark.

Mitchell later worked at the U.S. Nautical Almanac Office and in 1865 became professor of astronomy at Vassar College, the first person (male or female) appointed to the faculty; she was also named as Director of the Vassar College Observatory. When Mitchell learned that despite her tenure, reputation and experience, her salary was less than many younger male professors, she insisted on a salary increase, and got it.

FYI - Mitchell, who was a distant cousin of Benjamin Franklin, also travelled to Europe with Nathaniel Hawthorne and his family.
